With 20 years of portrait photography under my belt, my passion lies in capturing people's authenticity. My mom's always said, "Joyana, you've been through so much; you should write a book." She's not wrong; like many of us, I've had more than my share of front-row seats at life's trials concert. Enough trials that I've given talks and spoken at women's conferences on how to navigate them. And just when I thought we were done, there came a trial so profound that I found myself pleading for peace and light in the darkest of times.
Instead of writing a book, I offer you a piece of what helped me. The temple grounds became my sanctuary, a place of solitude, peace, and light.
Each artistic rendition of the temple seeks to provide solitude by removing distractions while honoring its original design. Peace is found in the choice of a consistent, gentle color palette that embraces a natural, textured look and the timeless character that all great art should possess. The luminance and radiance in each image aim to infuse a heavenly ambiance into your living space.
